How to search the forum

[coxconsultancy]

This may be a silly question but I’ve only just joined this forum.
How do I search to see if a topic has been raised before? I can’t see a search box.
Many thanks

This is not silly question.
I tried before but I couldn’t find it.
Forum without search option !! How come ?

Hi,
I have registered in this forum today.
I also look for the search box.
Unfortunately, the one in the footer does not search in the forum.
Then, how to search in previous topics?

Me too! I’m desperate for a search box!!!!!

I search using Google. Example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.onedesigns.com%2Fsupport%2F+how+to+search+forum&oq=site%3Awww.onedesigns.com%2Fsupport%2F+how+to+search+forum

Here’s how to search the forum. Enter in the search field of google or duckduckgo or whatever search engine:

site:http://www.onedesigns.com/support/searchterm + pinboard

Be sure to include the quotation marks and replace searchterm with what you’re looking for. For example, if you want to search for support forum posts that discuss the sidebar, you would do a search like this:

site:http://www.onedesigns.com/support/sidebar + pinboard

You’ll get a long list of results from your search engine, but they will all relate to the subject topic in the Pinboard support forum.

Edit to add. I noticed when I posted that it creates a link. Be sure to include the word site in the search phrase.

Oops, I have to make a correction. Put a space between support/ searchterm, and use quotation marks to surround the entire phrase.

Example:
“site:http://www.onedesigns.com/support/ sidebar” + pinboard

I just tried it with a search for menu and it worked.
“site:http://www.onedesigns.com/support/ menu” + pinboard
